The humanitarian crisis in north-east Nigeria continues to present complex and ever-evolving dynamics, characterized by insecurity across various local government areas, particularly in remote regions. This escalation has led to an increased demand for shelter and non-food items (NFI) responses. Consequently, a significant portion of the affected population lacks access to basic needs, including shelter.

The humanitarian situation in North-East Nigeria remains relatively fluid, characterized by increasing cases of insecurities in various local government areas, especially the deep field locations, leading to an increase in shelter and non-food item (NFI) needs along with other humanitarian needs, hence adding to the existing protracted caseloads from previous primary and secondary displacements.

In the dawn of 2023, the CCCM, shelter and NFI sector in close collaboration with its partners and the government leads in NE Nigeria have continued to optimize the use of the available resources to meet the needs of the affected population residing in the camps, camp like settings and host communities for the IDPs, returnees and the vulnerable individuals in the host communities who have been exposed to the tiring living conditions since the blow of the insurgency 12 years down the line.

• During this reporting period covering October to December 2022, 9,700 HH for 48,155 individuals were reached for shelter support and 5,000 HH for 25,000 individuals were reached with NFI support through 10 sector partners. With the overall number of people reached standing at 298,120 individuals, makes the percentage of reach stands at 18% across the BAY states.

• Further, 90,933 individuals in the camps, camp-like settings, and host communities continued to suffer exacerbated by the effects of climate change such as flooding, and fire.

From July to September, 2,012,660 people in Northeast Nigeria continues to dwell in camps and camp-like settings (DTM Round 41) with movements (arrivals and departures) continued to be tracked and reported on a weekly basis by the emergency tracking tool.
During the period under review, 90,933 people both in camps and host communities have been immensely affected by the heavy downpour and flooding.

The Shelter/NFI and CCCM sector in the reporting month of June initiated series of advocacies through its CCCM partners and government counterparts (NEMA and SEMA) on the need to scale up on the shelter intervention which includes the repair and construction of more shelters to accommodate 5,165 Internally displaced population who are sleeping outside without shelter, and 14,120 in reception centres plus the new arrivals.
